Document Details : Title: Parallels between the Historical Quest for Jesus and Modern Biographies of Muhammad Author(s): TERZIĆ, Faruk Journal: Studies in Interreligious Dialogue Volume: 22 Issue: 1 Date: 2012 Pages: 36-49 DOI: 10.2143/SID.22.1.2174054 Abstract : The purpose of this article is to point to some parallels between the historical quest of Jesus and modern biographies of Muhammad that exhibit striking similarities. Jesus and Muhammad belong to two different religious traditions; Christianity and Islam, and each one of them is perceived in a different manner in his spiritual tradition. Yet 'both of them' went through similar circumstances created and brought about by modernity in two different religious spheres and two different parts of the world; the East and the West. One commonality binds them together, however: they are both key figures in two world religions, Christianity and Islam respectively. |
